Meet the Artist

Canadian pianist Jane Coop
(MusBac ‘72, U of T) has established
‘selfas one her country’s most promi-
nent and distinguished artists. She has
toured extensively throughout North

‘Europe, Russia, China and Japan. Her
recitals have graced the international
stages in cities like New York, London,

and Tokyo.

As a concerto soloist, Ms. Coop has

Symphonies, the Hong Kong Phil-
harmonic, the Bavarian Radio Orch-
estra and every major orchestra in
Canada.

As a recording artist, Ms. Coop’s
discography of eleven titles on both
the Skylark Records and CBC Records
has earned her such praises as “one of
the finest Chopin discs of the decade”
[InTune Magazine - Chopin Nocturnes
and Mazurkas]. Her discography

continues to expand with the pending
release of her second concerti
recordings: Piano Concerti of Barber
and Britten with the CBC Radio
Orchestra. As for her recent releases,
“The Romantic Piano Vol. II” and the
chamber repertoire of Brahms and

acclaim and are often heard on myriad
radio stations across North America.

Equally at home in chamber
repertoire, Ms. Coop has collaborated
with many of Canada’s leading instru-
mentalists and is frequently invited to
perform at chamber festivals. She is a
